...know who Seymour Carter was, so for a minute he just looked at John, who sat with his eyes closed. He had a way of speaking that the boy liked -- very slow, very deliberate, and rather quiet, a strong voice that never faltered and never wasted a breath. John was tall, with rugged features and a beautiful body...
...various faculties of the University. It is an impressive list of 160 different projects, amounting to an annual expenditure of more than $12 million. Since the information had never before been made available, it may at least serve the purpose of letting one part of the University know what other parts are doing in the field.

These men sitting around a littered coffee table know that if--when their work opens in New York a month later--Clive Barnes (of the New York Times) does not like their show, they are in big trouble. Their show will close, their artistic reputations will suffer, and the play's investors will lose a lot of money...
